SAMUEL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Samuel and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (1/31) from 11 am -2 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!   Name:  Samuel            Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd, Hound     Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of Jan. 2026            SEX:  Male   Estimated Weight:  71 lbs as of Jan. 2026   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! Samuel is a big and energic boy so would probably do best without very young kids.   Currently Living at: DC area foster home   Samuel is Looking For: Well, hello!! I’m Samuel. I’m pretty cute, if I do say so myself. I’m a young pup, so I can’t wait to soak up all the wonderful things this world has to offer: walks? Yes, please! Trips to the dog park? Oh, please, yes! Laps to snuggle on? Check! I would also love, love, love to have regular access to treats and belly rubs. It would probably be a good idea to enroll me in a training class or two so I can grow up to be the best good boy ever. What do you say? Can you make my dreams come true? What My Foster Says About Me: Meet this big-hearted, 71-lb hound who is equal parts playful goofball and professional cuddle companion. He’s a happy, friendly guy who loves all people and truly believes everyone exists to be his best friend. He’s very food-motivated and will do just about anything for a treat (training included – he knows his stuff but sometimes needs a little reminder ). This energetic pup would thrive with an active, adult partner who enjoys runs, games of tug, and enthusiastic fetch sessions with his rope or tough stuffies. He also takes his chew time very seriously and loves settling in with a good dog chew after playtime.  And then there’s his other favorite time of day: bedtime. By 7:30 pm, he’s officially off duty. Once he’s comfy on the couch or bed, good luck moving him – he becomes hilariously floppy, dead weight, and fully committed to rest. He will let you move him, but he leaves the work to you. When he’s not playing, you’ll find him curled up sleeping, preferably touching you at all times. He wants to be with his people 24/7 and will happily soak up all the love you have to give. With his soulful puppy-dog eyes and sweet hound heart, he’s ready to show you all he wants is your love.
